All the best, Lorraine Roger McGuinn photo by Christine Wilson © On Friday, 8th June 2001, Roger McGuinn played at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel in Adelaide, South Australia. I recall just browsing through the newspaper a few weeks before, and his name standing out amongst all the other advertisements in the entertainment section. I made sure I bought tickets that week, how could I possibly miss out on a classic musician as this gem? On the evening of the show, as we arrived at the venue, my boyfriend Mike and I looked for a suitable table. Most of the middle and front tables were taken, but we found a side table reasonably close to the stage. We could still get a good view, if even a side view. I was feeling a little tired, as I had been working long, hard hours for the past few weeks, and was worried I might fall asleep. However, when the support act came on, a local blues singer, I was able to get into her music and enjoy. When Roger himself appeared, I forgot my tiredness and was eight miles high!! Roger performed alone, no accompanying musicians, alternating between his acoustic and electric guitars. He sang songs from various era's of his career, including the theme from the film "Easy Rider," but of course the songs I recognised the most were the Byrds' songs. These consisted of "Mr Tambourine Man," "Turn Turn Turn" and of course "Eight Miles High." Before singing "Mr Tambourine Man," he told the story of how they had been given this song by Bob Dylan and at first recorded it at a quicker tempo, similar to the style of Bob himself. Roger demonstrated this style on his acoustic guitar. He then stated how David Crosby didn't like the way the song sounded, and it wouldn't sell well. So they changed the tempo and style to how everyone knows it, the slower, beat-groupish Byrds sound. He then played the song in full Byrds-style on his electric. There were also some audience participation, singing along and clapping. One time he asked the audience to scream for four bars whilst he played. I screamed so loud I was worried Mike might tell me off. Roger came out twice for encores. During this time someone yelled out "Legend!!" When he came out for the first, Mike tapped my hand and said, "If you want his autograph, you'd better go up now." So I went to the front, just before the stage, which was a low stage, and sat on the floor, so as not to get in anyone's way. In between songs I tried to get his attention, and again when he was rushing off backstage, but sadly failed. After the second encore, hence the end of the show, I, along with others, sat by the stage hoping he would appear and mingle with the crowd. One young man gave a CD he had made to a roadie, and asked for it to be given to Roger. A few of us asked the stage crew if Roger would be coming out, but alas, he was not feeling very well. Disappointing, but I had to understand his feelings. In the taxi on our way home, Mike commented on what a great voice the man had, after all these years. I think he was more impressed than I was. I am simply thrilled to finally see Roger McGuinn in the flesh. Christine Wilson Adelaide AUSTRALIA * * * Christine you are a dear to submit this great story.

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD BOX SET REVIEW FOUR **** STARS Buffalo Springfield are that rarest of beasts: an influential 1960s band whose recorded legacy hasn't been recycled into dust. Classic-rock radio stations don't dig much deeper than their one bona fide hit, "For What It's Worth," preferring instead to play the songs of the band's splintered progeny: Crosby, Stills and Nash, Poco, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Loggins and Messina, et al. But though the Springfield lasted little more than two years and struggled to release three albums, the group contributed as much to rock & roll as its famous divorces. This long-overdue four-disc box chronicles and illuminates that contribution. The first three discs follow the group's recordings chronologically. Buffalo Springfield (1966) introduced a tightly drilled quintet whose music proposed the country-rock hyphen well before Dylan, the Byrds or the Flying Burrito Brothers. The songwriting was divided between second guitarist Stephen Stills ("Sit Down I Think I Love You") and lead guitarist Neil Young ("Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing"), and favored the voice of rhythm guitarist Richie Furay, often in tandem with Stills as an updated Everly Brothers. Unfortunately, inept production eliminated the subtlety and power from their debut; superb bass player Bruce Palmer was especially victimized. There was more energy and balance to Young's "Mr. Soul" and Stills' "Rock & Roll Woman" from Buffalo Springfield Again (1967), but the rest of the picture was becoming irreparably fragmented, with three individual writer-singers overseeing their own material and Stills challenging Young on lead guitar. The album's pinnacle, Young's haunting art-song collaboration with Jack Nitzsche on "Expecting to Fly," featured no other band members. The band burned up the track so fast before hitting the wall that Last Time Around (1968) had to be pieced together for posthumous release. Sadly, few tapes have surfaced to document the ferocity of the band's stage performances. Box Set collects the few developed songs that didn't make the albums (though they've rightly nixed the clumsy nine-minute "Bluebird" that leaked out some years back). The thirty-seven unreleased tracks include alternate takes and mixes, sometimes superior solo demos (Stills' "Four Days Gone," Furay's "Sad Memory"), instrumentals (Young's twisty "Falcon Lake [Ash on the Floor]"), and songs we would encounter later in their careers ("Round and Round and Round" and "Old Laughing Lady" from Young). The set's only real flaw is the redundant Disc Four, which reprises the first two albums. Buffalo Springfield were a great American band done in by their overabundance of talent. They went from being an inspired idea straight to a cherished memory without letting themselves, or us, linger too long over the magic they made in between. Now is our chance.
